“After”—the “Magic Words” Answer

As I understand it, I would support the management and marketing of three product lines. I’d be reporting to the Marketing Supervisor. [Use “I would” and “I’d be” to help interviewers start to visualize you in the position.] You need someone who has excellent organizational skills, is detail-oriented, and communicates well to collaborate with a range of departments like R&D, fabrication, packaging, and distribution. Conversations with people inside and outside the company lead me to believe that the key tasks are coordinating production of marketing materials and keeping communication lines open with internal and external partners, including your graphic designers and printer so that everyone is on the same page about deadlines. From a results standpoint, it sounds as though you’d like to see a system developed to improve internal communications, plus build out the collateral marketing materials for the newest addition to your widget product line.
